Stylishly Green Lunch with Kids Konserve: Review and Giveaway
Friday, January 16, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
As moms, we have all become so much more aware of our responsibility to care for the planet we live in. We know that it is something that we must do for each other, ourselves and more importantly, for our children, which is why I couldn’t be more excited about introducing you guys to a wonderful company that I recently discovered. The company is called Kids Konserve and they make reusable waste-free lunch kits for children.
When Lynn Julian and Chance Claxton calculated the amount of waste schools were creating on a daily basis during lunch hour alone, they decided to take action and started Kids Konserve. According to the Center for Ecoliteracy, the average elementary student generates between 45-90 pounds of plastic bags, foil, and additional waste in school lunch programs per year! So, moms it’s time to stop using the plastic baggies, foil, and brown paper lunch sacks because there is now a better option!
The Lunch Kits are available in three totally adorable and modern designs. I got the chance to try the Waste Free Lunch Kit (pictured right) and I was totally taken aback by how awesome it is. First of all, the kit is seriously the coolest looking way to pack your child’s lunch. It's beautiful! There are few things I love more than when something is practical, beautiful and good for the planet. Each kit includes a recycled cotton lunch bag, cloth napkin, 16 oz. stainless steel beverage bottle, food kozy(sandwich wrapper), two stainless steel food containers, and a recycled aluminum name tag. The kits come with everything that you need to pack your child’s lunch. Of course, the fact that the containers are stainless steel means no BPA or any other toxic chemicals leaching into your child's food or drink. Every piece down to the name tag is of superior quality and I can promise you that these kits will last a very long time.
All of the lunch kit items are also sold separately should you happen to need something extra or in case you lose a piece. The kits retail between $40 and $42 depending on the design that you choose. I know that $40 sounds like a lot of money for a lunch kit. Ask yourself this question though-how much do you spend per year on plastic baggies, lunch sacks, bagged chips, bagged snacks, lunch boxes, pouched and boxed juices, foil, saran wrap, and plastic containers? When it's all said and done, you will save money, help save our planet, and your kids will be healthier for it!Win it! Kids Konserve has generously offered to give one of these fabulously green lunch kits to one lucky Jolly Mom reader!
This contest will end January 25th at 11:59 PM EST. Winner will be chosen via random.org and will be announced January 26th. Winner will have 48 hours to contact me with their full name, address, and phone number.

have to say as soon as I saw the lunch kit I hit their site before even finishing your review. I love that they use stainless steel. and cloth bags, even to the point of a reusable cloth instead of a baggie for the sandwich or such. i also learned that if just 10% of cell phone users unplugged their charger while they were not in use, it would save enough energy to power 60,000 homes for a whole year. Those are incredible statistics. love the set, and I know it would get good use if won! thanks for highlighting them.

Kids Konserve has a Waste Free Lunch Challenge Fundraiser: if you can get your school to graduate to a waste free lunch kit with Kids Konserve than they will give a portion of their proceeds back to the school!
January 17, 2009 12:20 AM
On the website, there's a section for tips and awareness issues on the site (community button, I believe) and I found this little tidbit:
If just 10% of cell phone users unplugged their charger while they were not in use, it would save enough energy to power 60,000 homes for a whole year.
Whoa!
The kits are really cute and I'd LOVE to win one!

What great products.
Under the community tab, i learned that "If just 10% of cell phone users unplugged their charger while they were not in use, it would save enough energy to power 60,000 homes for a whole year." Thats just crazy, i had no clue.

I think it's really cool that Kids Konserve offers its lunch kits also as a fundraising opportunity in schools. What a great idea!

The Kids Konserve waste-free lunch kit and other reusable products were the natural outgrowth of what two women saw as a big need that required immediate attention. With the premise that any business they undertook had to help the environment in some way, it didn’t take much imagination to see how they, as parents of young children, were contributing to garbage landfills, pollutants and sending the wrong message to their own children. How could they set an example of conservation for their children and empower them to be the examples of change for the future?
Focusing on how school lunch programs operate opened their eyes and propelled them to create Kids Konserve. Calculating the amount of trash being produced each day at their own schools during the lunch hour alone, shocked them enough to begin more research into reusable products that dramatically cut down on Earth’s ever growing garbage pile.

I would also like to add that we saved $10 a month on our electric bill just by unplugging the microwave.

If we replaced just one out of every five paper greeting cards we buy with a paperless alternative, we could save 130 million pounds of wood, 183 million gallons of water, and 39 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
